1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the effect of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of Fe(3)O(4) combined with cyclosporin A (CsA) on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in murine models.

methodsBALB/c mice preconditioned with total-body irradiation generated aGVHD and then were followed with allo-HSCT from allogeneic C57BL/6. Recipient mice were randomly divided into five groups and then given different supportive care and followed up. The physical signs and median survival time (MST) were recorded, peripheral blood cell counts were assessed, and histological changes of the main tissues were evaluated with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Furthermore, fluorescence polarization immunoassay was used to monitor the concentration of CsA.

resultsThe irradiated-only mice developed typical aGVHD, and the typical signs of aGVHD in the skin, liver, and intestine were observed by histopathological examination. Both CsA alone and in combination with Fe(3)O(4) MNPs significantly prolonged the MST of recipient mice compared with both the control and the Fe(3)O(4) MNPs groups. Notably, a combination of CsA with Fe(3)O(4) MNPs can elevate the peripheral white blood cells and alleviate the symptoms of GVHD and the pathological damage after allo-HSCT. In addition, the concentration of CsA was higher in plasma, heart, liver, and spleen of recipient mice with supporting care of the combination of CsA with Fe(3)O(4) MNPs than with CsA alone.

conclusionTaken together, Fe(3)O(4) MNPs may be used as a carrier of immunosuppressive agents to alleviate GVHD after allo-HSCT in murine models.
